77439Touched Outhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/touched-out-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1541727/35d97939-b3bf-4f1c-8335-7562b14b21ed.jpg?v=638338322236900000574574MXNBeacon PressInStock/Audiolibros/In this stunning blend of memoir, theory, and cultural criticism, a new mother examines the intersection between misogyny and motherhood, considering how caregivers can take back their bodies and pass on a language of consent to their childrenMotherhood and the culture of misogyny in America are not often explored in tandem. The connection is womens bodies.When Amanda Montei became a parent, she struggled with the physicality of caring for children, but even more with the growing lack of autonomy she felt in her personal and professional life. The conditions of modern American parenthoodthe lack of paid leave and affordable childcare, the isolation and alienation, the distribution of labor in her home, and the implicit demands of marriagewere not what she had expected.After #MeToo, however, she began to see a connection between how women were feeling in motherhood and the larger culture of assault in which she had grown up. In American society, women are expected to prioritize their children, often by pushing their bodies to the limit and ignoring their own desires and needs. As she struggled to adjust to the new demands on her body, this stirred memories of being used, violated, and seen by men. She had the desperate urge to finally say no, though she didnt know how, or to whom she might say it.Written with the intellectual and emotional precision of writers like Roxane Gay and Leslie Jamison, and drawing on classic feminist thinkers such as bell hooks, Silvia Federici, and Adrienne Rich, as well as on popular culture from The Bachelor to Look Whos Talking, Montei draws connections between caregiving, consent, reproductive control, and the sacrifices women are expected to make throughout their lives. Exploring the stories we tell about psychology, childbirth, sexuality, the family, the overwhelm mothers feel trying to be good, and the tender bonds that form between parent and child, Touched Out delivers a powerful critique of American rape culture and its continuation in the institution of motherhood, and considers what it really means to care in America....77350Touched Out574574https://www.gandhi.com.mx/touched-out-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1541727/35d97939-b3bf-4f1c-8335-7562b14b21ed.jpg?v=638338322236900000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20239780807014622_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9780807014622_An overwhelmed Mom reveals the intersection between misogyny and American motherhood and tracks a path toward a more caring future.Touched Out is a blend of memoir and cultural criticism that explores how the authors experiences with ambiguous forms of sexual assault come to resurface in early motherhood.American women are encouraged to view marriage and motherhood as the pinnacle of success. Although Amanda Montei understood motherhood wouldnt lead automatically to fulfillment, even she found the narrative hard to resist. After giving birthand even during pregnancyAmanda struggled to adjust to the new demands on her physical body.Structural conditionsthe lack of paid leave, the childcare crisis, mothers as Americas only social safety netwere depriving Amanda of her bodily autonomy, but without another outlet for rebellion, she found agency by rejecting intimacy with her children and husband. Amanda struggled with the physicality of caring for children, but even more with her growing awareness that the lack of bodily autonomy she felt in motherhood reiterated a feeling she had always had about her body; she had been taught to use it to please others, especially men, without necessarily considering whether she wanted to.Amanda was not aloneshe found a huge assortment of women online who described feeling touched out too. Women are supposed to care for and pleasure their husbands and children, and to do so by pushing their bodies to the limit, ignoring their own desires and needs. Motherhood, too, can feel like an assault. And just as we naturalize sexual violence against women, we have also come to normalize the suffering of mothers.The author writes with a blend of emotion drawn from personal experience and power drawn from her academic background and a lifetime of engaging with feminist thinkers and writers from Chanel Miller and Kate Manne to bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Silvia Federici and Adrienne Rich. She draws a unique connection between rape culture and the bodily sacrifices women are expected to make for their children, making a powerful argument from a thoughtful and considered perspective.Ultimately, Touched Out prescribes a path forward for caregivers to take back their bodies, pass on a language of consent, and write a new story about what it means to care in America....9780807014622_Beacon Pressaudiolibro_f09a836c-038c-38e1-ae08-40ed698aa9ce_9780807014622;9780807014622_9780807014622Amanda MonteiInglésMéxicoNoMINUTE2023-09-12T00:00:00+00:00Beacon Press
